Youtuber Tries Starting His Car Using Lemons

What would you say if we told you
that you could start your car engine by connecting it to lemon halves? Chances
are you would look at us as if we have lost it, right? Even after reading such
an absurd claim, you are probably thinking what is it that we are blabbering on
about. Well, a team of mechanics from Russia came up with an experiment that
you could never have thought of! The experiment was filmed and uploaded to
YouTube by Garage 54.

Garage 54 is a YouTube channel that
is dedicated to never-tried and over-the-top experiments that will definitely
leave you with a smile and intrigued for more. You have already seen potatoes
and other food items being used in experiments aimed at power generation.
However, these guys decided to use something that has never been used before;
lemons.

The video that you can see at the end
of this post shows a team of mechanics using copper and zinc to test the
voltage of lemons. The team is trying to ascertain if the lemons can come up
with enough power to start a car. The mechanics from Garage 54 are able to
determine that one half of lemon can deliver about 0.96 volts – not the kind of
information you would come across on a regular day, right?

The video shows the team then
preparing lemons by cutting them in halves and placing them on the floor. The
team then connects the lemons using screws and wires, thus creating a circuit.
Once the connections have been made, the experiment is all set to be carried
out. The experiment concludes that even a thousand lemon halves won’t suffice
for starting the car. Nonetheless, the experiment sure makes us smile. Next
time life gives you lemons, don’t try using them for starting the car!
